Dot Roses: Mercè
....is a rose created 1992 by Pere Dot junior. I find the cross quite interesting. On the one hand, the forever famous Chrysler Imperial, strongly fragrant and sometimes more susceptible than desirable to fungal diseases, as seed. As for the pollen, Centre de Lectura was selected, which Pere Dot senior obtained in 1959 from the crossing of two highly popular roses, Texas Centennial (seed) and Mme. Meilland (pollen).
The rose, generally large and solitary, full of high-centred petals, has conserved....the colour spectrum of its father, Centro di Lectura, tending towards fuchsia or magenta. Chrysler Imperial adds a remarkably powerful perfume and I think a tendency towards rather delicate foliage. Foliage which is sufficiently treated, especially against powdery mildew, is quite striking, both for its size and light green colour.
